Obama and Che, cont'd.
The Obama campaign responds to the Che flag flap:
A fair enough job, I think. Appropriate weight for the purpose. Let's watch the follow-up.
NRO attempts to not like it but basically gives up after two tries.

The Obama phenomenon now -- propelled by the media, but rooted in the mass mind -- has all the hallmarks of a crusade or a first crush.

"It’s wrong to try to implement restrictions in my private property. I own this piece of land. This is America. I should be able to do anything I want with it."
